Dailyclout Billcam

The Challenge: Activist-hero Naomi Wolf came to us wanting to build ways for ordinary people to see legislative bills change in real time, to comment on them and to raise their voices in public more effectively than just sending an email or signing a petition.

codeigniter: CodeIgniter Platforms

Etalon Diagnostics

The Challenge: Etalon provides genetic identification for performance and companion animals (think 23andMe for horses). We were brought on to re-architect their aging, CodeIgniter-based genetic testing platform in a modern stack, introducing a new brand and current design patterns.

Elgg Platforms

EnSight Business Intelligence Network

The Challenge: Develop a cutting-edge platform to be used by Executive Network's service staff as their primary tool for customer information and matching research. The platform is intended to streamline EN's relationship workflow, which was previously a highly manual process involving multiple platforms (Salesforce, Regonline, Outlook).

Elgg Platforms

Native Climate

The Challenge: Develop a web-based community platform to allow reservation high school environmental and Earth science classrooms and tribal college freshman science classes to communicate about climate change and how it is impacting tribal communities.

civ.works

The Challenge: Develop a new type of social network focused on increasing civic engagement and building consensus on important social and political issues. The platform consumes actionable political and civil issues from a variety of sources and delivers them to members in real-time, with customizable alerts, based on the member's issue affinity. Members can share and discuss actions to build consensus and increase the power of their actions.

We’re working to reconstruct how we participate in democracy.

Now more than ever is the time for change. Our population shows great divides but it doesn’t have to stay that way. It’s time we start looking out for each other. Our voices matter, but so do our actions. Make sure they count. civ.works empowers users to find and discuss the issues most important to them. This database provides guidance on how to make tangible moves together—in communities of caring and committed people like yourself, united to make your voices heard. By joining civ.works, users can affect policy from the ground up and begin to dismantle systemic obstacles to direct large-scale political and economic action.

In the labs.

We’re always hard at work on new and exciting platforms. Here’s what we’re busy working on right now.

What clients are saying

Kudos

“We hired Arck Interactive two years ago to manage the development of a complex Drupal marketing site. Since then, Arck has been our go-to agency for all technical projects that cannot be handled in house, including the new Trivantis BuddyPress community. Paul and team offer the whole package: Technical talent, managerial talent, while always remaining solution-oriented.”

- Peter Bray, Chief Marketing Officer, Trivantis Corporation

“We had very good experiences with their project management. They translate our ideas into material solutions and have already outlined specs for future projects. Communication is clear and seamless from concept to delivery and they bring good insight and ideas to our interaction.”

- Naomi Wolf, CEO, DailyClout

“I was very impressed by how quickly Arck’s team was able to accomplish many of the development tasks we gave them. I’ve been developing personally for over 20 years, so I have a good idea of how long things take, and they consistently delivered high-quality work much faster than I thought they’d be able to.
I’ve been able to get a lot of functionality and work out of them for a very reasonable price. We regularly leverage their expertise in order to add additional features or upgrades as we go, and they ensure that additional features will be upgrade-friendly in the long term.”

- Jason Bays, CEO, Fostercare.Team

“They [Arck] really know the social networking market and came it in a very mindful way. They could see the bigger picture and not be distracted by the programming details. They could understand the business opportunity and what we needed to make it work from a business standpoint.

We Elgg.

While we work with many frameworks and stacks, Elgg has a special place in our hearts. We’re one of the first firms to provide a full range of custom Elgg development services. In the past five years, we’ve launched more enterprise class social networks based on the Elgg framework that anyone else. If you’re considering Elgg for a new project, or need help enhancing an existing platform, you’ve come to the right place.
